15. Introduction to Graphic
Organizers & Six Traits of Writing
CONCEPTS: There are many changes taking place in 5th & 6th grade students. These children change at different rates. Each year
objectives will not change until the students are physically & mentally ready. Numerous new activities will be introduced each year to insure
the growth of the students, check progress, & to make certain they do not become bored. Characteristics include: girls are developing
physically more rapidly than boys, wide variations in growth patterns, strong peer orientation, self-consciousness concerning the body,
strong desire to excel in team activities, growth spurt may cause students to tire quickly. Needs include: coed activities in addition to
activities segregated by sex, & individualized activities to account for the variations in growth.
